Summary
The study examines pain-related evoked potentials (PREP) in patients with peripheral nerve injuries. Since previous studies found altered latencies and amplitudes of PREP in generalized polyneuropathies, e. g. HIV-polyneuropathy and fibromyalgia, this study investigates if these alterations are detectable in unilateral peripheral nerve injuries as well.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DIAGNOSTIC_TEST | Pain-related evoked potentials (PREP) | PREP were performed bilaterally with a concentric surface electrode at twice the individual pain threshold. |
| DIAGNOSTIC_TEST | Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) | QST was performed bilaterally following the protocol of the German Network on Neuropathic Pain. |
| DIAGNOSTIC_TEST | Nerve conduction studies (NCS) | NCS were performed with patients only. |
